Tax Year Prior to 2020: When will i get my refund

[DawnC]

What kind of case number are you looking for?   @Wandapalmer27

What is your e-file status?  

Sign in to TurboTax to check your current status. You'll find it in Tax Home after sign in.    

If you used TurboTax CD/Download you can check your e-file status by opening the File menu and selecting Check E-filing status or by opening your return, selecting the File tab, and selecting the Check E-file Status header.

Keep in mind:

• E-filing status is what stage of the process your return is in.   
• Refund status is when you can expect your refund. If that’s what you’re interested in, go to Where's My Refund?    Only accepted returns can be tracked.  

What You Will Need

• Social security number or ITIN
• Your filing status
• Your exact refund amount
• Accepted tax return

Have you checked with TurboTax and IRS tools? If not, please do so by clicking here:  TurboTax and IRS

Although the IRS has processed and issued most refunds from e-filed returns around 21 days, because of the pileup caused by Covid, some of the returns will require more time to review.

It's not that accurate down to the minute.  If the IRS "Where's My Refund" tool says your refund has been sent, the IRS says to allow up to 5 days due to variations in the receiving bank's processing procedures and times, but it usually doesn't take that long.    There's no way for a user community forum to know if your bank will receive it today or what time.   You can phone your bank today to see if they have received notice to expect an incoming ACH direct deposit.

However, there may be another link in the chain that you can check right now in the meantime if you used the following service:

Did you have any TurboTax fees that you chose to pay out of the Federal refund?  If so, the funds go first from the IRS to a temporary account at an intermediary bank where the fees are subtracted.   Then that intermediary bank sends the rest of the funds on to your bank (or card.)   If you used that method to pay fees, and if the IRS has actually released the funds, we can tell you how to check on the funds at the level of the intermediary company (SBTPG) using SBTPG's refund lookup tool.  Choose the "For Taxpayers" portal at this page:

Thanks for the response!

Yes, I used TurboTax and yes I have to pay them with refund funds. 

Also, my money is supposed to be direct deposit to my greendot account.

Dude, apparently SBTPG has issued payment as of 07/07/21! Wonder why I still don't have it.

That was just yesterday.  It's not instantaneous.  It's an ACH electronic deposit, not a wire transfer. And it also depends on the receiving bank's procedures and processing times as to how soon it shows up in your account.  A lot of banks process electronic deposits overnight, so it may well arrive today.   Check with your bank (or card) later today to see if they have any word on an ACH deposit.

I file on the 6 of March and its still saying receive and  processing

The IRS issues most refunds from e-filed returns in about 21 days, although some returns take more time to review. The IRS issues refunds, not TurboTax. This means that we can't say for sure why you haven’t received your refund if it's been longer than 21 days since you e-filed. You'll have to speak directly to IRS to find out more about the delay. For more information, please see the FAQ link provided below:

When will I get my stimulus? I didn't make enough to file in 2021 I'm just getting a stimulus I didn't file in 2021

If you are eligible but did not receive the third stimulus that should have been sent somewhere between March and May of 2021, you will need to file a 2021 tax return to claim the Rebate Recovery Credit. The credit will be for the same amount as the stimulus payment that you were eligible for but did not receive. If you do not normally file a tax return, you will have to file one for 2021 to get your missing stimulus payment.

TurboTax has all the information you need to determine if you are eligible for the missing stimulus money. You are eligible if you are a US citizen with a social security number, no one claims you as a dependent, and you had gross income below:

• $75,000 for single or married filing separately
• $112,500 for head of household
• $150,000 for married filing jointly or qualifying widower

The third stimulus payment is $1,400 for each eligible person on your tax return.
